How Irish Slots handles visit data
A visit to Irish Slots can leave more than one record, each with its own lifespan. The server entry for one request is kept for 30 days; an affiliate-click record loses its IP address and browser string after 90 days. We set no analytics or advertising cookies ourselves, yet a partner link may still pass click data onward.
What goes into the server record for one request?
- Each request creates a server record, so the page that sent you and the page you asked for are stored next to each other.
- The same record also holds the time of the request, the browser string and the IP address.
- That individual server record is kept for 30 days.
- If the delivery provider reports it, an approximate country derived from the IP address is recorded too.
- A campaign tag in the page address is stored together with the request, so the tag remains tied to that technical entry.
- Together, those fields describe the request as an event: where it pointed, when it arrived and what kind of browser made it.
Do analytics or advertising cookies come from Irish Slots?
Irish Slots itself sets no analytics cookies and no advertising cookies. In everyday terms, the website does not place cookies to count visits or to follow you for advertising while you compare Irish-theme slot titles. That distinction matters most when a privacy tool lists cookie categories, because it tells you which part of the visit is not coming from us. On Irish Slots, that kind is not set by us.
What do the longer kept visit totals include?
- We keep aggregated visit statistics without IP addresses.
- These combined totals are kept longer than the individual server records.
- They cover the browsers people use and the number of visits.
- They include countries when the delivery provider reports them.
- They also show which pages are popular and which sources brought visits.
- Their longer life suits pattern reading across many visits, not replaying one request.
Who carries each request before it reaches us?
A request does not travel straight from your browser to Irish Slots. It passes through infrastructure providers that supply hosting and delivery, and they process the request on our behalf. Hosting is the side that keeps the site available, and delivery is the side that sends the page back across the network. We do not name those providers. The route matters because the answer you receive has moved through outside companies that act for the website. Your side of that arrangement is simple: the page still comes from Irish Slots, but it is carried and handled through outside providers that we do not name here.
What happens when a partner link is followed?
Some pages link to casinos as partners, and following such a link may earn Irish Slots a reward. An affiliate link is the tracked route from our page to that partner. When you follow it, the click is recorded with the browser string, the page, the country and the IP address. That click record has its own rule. After 90 days, the IP address and the browser string are erased, while the record of the click stays in place without them. The erasure is specific: only the IP address and browser string are removed from that click record. The consequence is plain: the click remains, but the two details most tied to the connection and the browser do not remain with it.
What can an affiliate link pass on to a partner?
An affiliate link may also pass data about the click onward. The partner on the receiving side can be a casino or its affiliate programme. The data that may travel is compact: the country of the reader, the address of the page, the domain of Irish Slots and the address of the website the reader came from. In everyday terms, the domain is the website name in the address, and the referring website address is the place you arrived from. May is the important word here, because the pass onward is possible rather than certain. Read as a reader, a partner click can carry context about where you were and where you arrived from, alongside the fact that the click happened.
